The SCCA welcomes Diane Daly, David Drysdale and Mags Johnston to the Board of Directors. They were elected at the annual general meeting May 28 when the membership re-elected Julian Ayers, Myrna Kerr, Jim Murphy and John Sprungman to the board. Desta Beattie was elected last year to a two-year term.

 

At the AGM, the SCCA members and board celebrated the opening of the new Manson’s Landing Canada Post Office with thank-yous from postmistress Jaime laGrandeur and the board to all those who helped create the new space.

 

The board is also pleased to announce that Jean Fontaine will be the construction coordinator for extensive renovations to the hall beginning this month. Updates will be posted regularly at the hall, on Tideline (www.cortesisland.com) and on the SCCA website (www.mansonhall.org) and in the Cortes Marketer.

Construction Coordinator Manson’s Hall Renovations

New Concept for Manson's Hall Entry with Post Office in New Room. See articles below for details.
The Southern Cortes Community Association is seeking a construction coordinator for renovations at Manson’s Hall. The SCCA has been successful in applications for grants to fund improvements to the main entryway and hall bathrooms, structural repairs and interior refinishing in the upstairs rooms, playschool, thrift store and hall office, the construction of a new covered deck for the playschool, and renovation of the present post office room after the new post office opens.

The coordinator will need to work with the SCCA board and hall staff to plan and schedule work so the hall can remain as functional as possible during construction, to hire crew and provide onsite supervision, and to work with SCCA accounting staff to manage payroll and purchases to meet the reporting requirements of the grants. If you are interested, please submit a letter to SCCA Board of Directors, Box 222, Manson’s Landing, B.C., V0P1K0, or drop it off at the hall office, including your qualifications and experience. Letters will be accepted through Monday, April 29

Thank you, Emcon!

The Southern Cortes Community Association greatly appreciates the support of Emcon Services management and Cortes crew in our current project to improve the access to Manson’s Landing Community Hall. In conjunction with the soon-to-open new office for Canada Post, we are revamping the entryway with an enlarged pedestrian patio and improved parking. Emcon has generously agreed to help by donating quality crushed gravel to provide a base for patio pavers and a better drained surface for parking on the Beasley Road side of the hall. The SCCA also wishes to commend Emcon’s Cortes crew for the work they have done to improve pedestrian safety in the neighbourhood by installing underground drainage where there were ditches.  Emcon’s willingness to partner with community institutions and enterprises to benefit the whole island is gratifying. Give the guys a thankful wave when you see them on the road.

Year End Appeal

Thank you from the SCCA to everyone who donated to our Year End Appeal. All funds will be going towards our current renovations, and will be matched by other grants, so your donations will go twice as far! Currently, the Post Office renovation is underway, and soon we will begin to work on the old library room and the exterior entryway. Look for more updates soon.
